ss auto chrome isnt a new company as many people would think. they have been around for a while what they tend to do is find a product may it be a turbo setup, headers, intercooler setup and buy the plans/idea and produce them at a reduced price. what i tend to find is that there are 60% happy customers and 40% being dissatified customers. i think they make quite quality stuff i had a set of turbo pipes for my mx6 and they were great... machine tig welds 304 stainless piping. i've heard of people getting setups that they've had to modify to fit, had welds crack, poor shipping response, bad customer support and other various things. i heard all of this early in their career and not so often now. like i said you might want to wait for someone to buy their stuff and comment on it unless you have axcess to welders and grinders as funny as it sounds cause you might be doing some extra work to make them fit correct. do a search on google and you'll see they produce parts for dsm's, 240's, silvias, mk supras... hope this helps.

No, what they do is buy a product, copy it, and have the product built in an Asian sweat shop, often with reduced quality materials.

Do a search, you will come up with LOTS of hits...especially in the Single Turbo forum....
